Tang Dayang pointed to the abandoned forts and said: "Miss Song, these forts and lookouts are all old things, I was here when I was a child, and the old man said that they were built during the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know if they are true or false." ”

Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan won the world, the royal family thought that Qinling was not only a dangerous place for soldiers, but also the ancestral vein of the Li family, and began to move to the Zhichong Army garrison to stay, after Tang Taizong established Cuiwei Palace in Huangyu, it was officially a royal private property, every four seasons, there must be princes and grandsons to hunt here.

In addition, there are many royal mausoleums in Qinling, as there are more and more mausoleums in Qinling, the royal family also has new troubles, if these mausoleums are discovered, will they be ruined by lawbreakers.

In order to protect many mausoleums, the Tang royal family began to move the garrison inward, used to protect the tombs of nobles, when they built bunkers and plank roads in the valley, in order to rely on the river valley mountain road, the entire Qinling Mountains were protected, so that hundreds of years of national Zuo passed, and the seventy-two valleys have been completely occupied and turned into a barracks.

It can be said that at that time, the Qinling Mountains were full of officers and soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the descendants of these officers and soldiers have become ordinary people, since they are no longer driven by the Li Tang royal family, there is no need to settle in the Qinling Mountains, they began to move out of the seventy-two valleys one after another, thousands of years have passed, and all those who can go have gone, and the only thing left is the Tang Tombs.

They are different from other barracks, most of them are Li Tang's distant lineage clans, and they gathered in Tangling Village to guard the tomb of the ancestor family, no matter how difficult the conditions are, they will not leave, after the establishment of the ancestral soul palace, these people have one more task.

That is to pay tribute to the ancestral veins of the soul palace every year, offer incense to the ancestral veins in the soul palace, and pray for the eternal continuation of the country.

Since then, even if the Tang Dynasty is gone, the Tang Tomb Village has also retained this custom, and it is still passed down as an ancestor worship ceremony.

"So, it's really possible that these things were left over from the Tang Dynasty!"

Tang Dayang nodded at Song Siyuan: "Indeed, I remember my grandfather said that there are many wild beasts in the mountains, and this bunker can not only prevent wild beasts from attacking the village, but also supervise the standing guard." ”

As they spoke, they had already come to the front of Tangling Village!

Yue Guanchao looked around, the houses in the mountains were rarely built on flat tidal flats, and could only be built on the slopes of the mountain, and this village was no exception.

The only exit of the whole village is the natural stone bridge near the entrance of the village, this bridge is a valley boulder erected on the ancient road, you can board the stone bridge along the ancient road, wait for the stone bridge, two dangerous mountains sandwich the valley, countless dilapidated Tang Dynasty buildings are built on the mountainside earth platform, and then connected by the stone ladder cave carved up and down, just run through the village, you can go to any house in front of the courtyard.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them, as if they saw the pattern on the ancestral vein feast, but after a closer look, it was completely different, and now they could only guess that the Ten Thousand Eyes Cave Mountain was likely to be a village-like settlement.

Walking into the village on the stone bridge, the rammed earth wall is exposed to the sun and wind, and it has fallen into disrepair, and even the gray tile roof ridge of the word "human" in the courtyard has fallen off the tiles and broken corridors, and the broken walls can be seen everywhere, and there have been no people living in it for decades, and the whole village has been completely dead.

"That blind old gentleman can't be gone."

They walked along the stone stairs up and down the courtyard of the house, and Song Siyuan looked around, but she didn't find any living people at all, and she began to wonder if there was a problem with the photos given to them by the court.

"Not necessarily, it may be that the blind old gentleman deliberately hid it."

As long as there is smoke, there is still a person alive, and they walk along the straight plank road in the village to the back of the village, and when they reach the end of the village, it can be seen that a house is still intact, and the smoke is coming from here.

Walking up the stairs and pushing the door open, the situation of this courtyard came into their eyes.

The house has very typical Shaanxi characteristics, the "human" herringbone eaves seem to be split and only half is left, the eaves fall directly along the ridge, the east and west wings, the north hall form a quadripartite courtyard, the yard is rammed by loess, leaving only a sweet well and the old crooked neck tree that has fallen leaves.

"Who's coming?"

They were still looking closely, and there was a knocking sound in the north hall, and then a blind old man picked up a cane and groped his way out of the house to step out of the threshold, stepping into the threshold is a very easy thing for ordinary people, but it is very difficult for the old man, as if crossing the top of the mountain seems to be slow.

Yue Guanchao observed carefully, this blind old gentleman's dress was quite plain, even to the point of rustic:

The old gentleman wore a thick black and gray jacket, bloomers on his legs, a sheepskin jacket covered with a sheepskin scarf on his head, an oily pipe hanging from his waist, the heels of his black cloth shoes were worn, the cloth was patched with a few patches, and his bronze complexion was blown by the wind and sand, dry and peeling.

"Who are you?"

The blind old gentleman noticed that there were many of them, and became vigilant.

"Uncle, do you remember me?"

Tang Dayang approached the old man, he hadn't been to Tangling Village for more than ten years, this blind old man thought he was coming to deceive people, so he hurriedly took a few steps back, and carefully touched Tang Dayang's face: "Let me touch it, don't be a robber of your family, then I'll be in trouble." ”
